I am mighty excited and thrilled to FINALLY share a “work” that I have been working really hard on, for past couple of months – a comprehensive guide / curriculum / planner for you to design and plan activities for your child in a very hands-on, Montessori-inspired way!

Sometimes we just get “stuck” and feel as if we are not giving right justice to our children’s exploratory , curious minds. Looking at pinterest and instagram gives me tons of inspiration, but it also leaves me overwhelmed. So I decided to chart down and plan a very informal, unstructured, fun, child-led curriculum for my son. Whether you are supplementing your school going child’s activities at home or currently homeschooling, this planner will serve as a great reference point. The planner is hugely inspired by Montessori, and hence it is completely flexible and child led. Follow your child always and tweak the activities accordingly 🙂 That’s my mantra!

You can use bits and parts of this planner (or the planner as a whole) and / or tweak it according to what suits your child the best.

Catch this video on my YT channel as i take you through the planner in detail:

in a time when everyone wants something in return, I have not come across a mum who is as passionate and as generous as you. Somehow you always have time, always listen patiently and always always help others. God Bless you, really, and thanks for this wonderful resource. I will share my letter H activity kit based on your videos soon.. 🙂 <3

Thanks very nice of you to share your work. In my class observation form, the first column is introduce , practice and then mastered. We also use a triangle shape to show that the child has mastered things. Is there any particular reason your mention practice three times. I love your planner. You are a wonderful and very organized Montessori mum and teacher.

Thank you so much Sophie! You would not believe, I had three columns set – introduce, practice and mastered (as followed by most Montessori schools). But after thinking a LOT, i edited and added practice column twice, as I do not want parents (or children) to get overwhelmed. They should enjoy, practice and master the work. But many parents might think of the word “master’ as pushing the child. So I wanted to keep it as flexible and non overwhelming as I possibly could 🙂

Dear Amu, thank you so much for sharing all your knowledge! It means so much! I am a new mum and so new to montessori, i dont know where to start. So this activity planner is such a great gift from you!

I have a few questions:

1. My toddler is 1.5 years, what are the activities available?

2. I saw your videos and i noticed it has at least 6-8 trays of activities. Do you do and repeat all the activities for the whole week OR do you change the activities on the trays everyday?

dear Amrutha, i really wanna say this.. you are doing a very very awesome job….true to say , I am a lazy mom but very passionate to help my kid with such activities. But having no idea from where to start, i was idle by simply googling and viewing such activities.
But your blog is very useful in a very organised way to help mommies like me.
Being talented is awesome, but sharing those creative thoughts is super awesome. you will always be a “SUPERMOM” and an inspiration ever.
GOD BLESS!!!!

Congrats on ur wonderful parenting.. The best mom i have ever seen.. i have a 22 months old . 2 months old boys at home.. pls guide me hw to start these activities.. whether frm shapes, colours or alphabets.. am working on preparing activity sheets now..

Thank you Amruta ! I love your work and how you plan the activities based on your child’s interest. This planner is definitely very helpful in giving us ideas on how to engage our children constructively . Thanks a ton once again for sharing your ideas . Cheers to you and your effort !
